Kanye West Set to Launch Yeezy Porn Studio

0

Kanye West is reportedly gearing up to launch a Yeezy Porn studio, marking a surprising move after acknowledging a past struggle with pornography addiction.

The 46-year-old rapper, who previously expressed remorse over the impact of adult entertainment on his family, is now believed to be involved in his wife Bianca Censori’s revealing fashion choices.

A representative for Kanye has informed TMZ of his intention to expand his Yeezy brand into adult entertainment, potentially as soon as this summer. He is said to be in discussions with adult film producer Mike Moz, formerly married to Stormy Daniels, to oversee the studio.

Despite longstanding considerations, Kanye is now reportedly in serious negotiations to establish the studio.

In a 2019 interview, Kanye opened up about his early exposure to pornography and its lasting effects, describing himself as a porn addict. He later attributed the industry to causing turmoil in his family life, amidst a public dispute with his ex-wife Kim Kardashian over their children’s schooling. The couple, who share two daughters and two sons, ended their marriage in February 2021 after years of speculation about its stability.

“IMANI Didn’t Organize Any Vigils” – Bright Simons Responds to Yvonne Nelson’s Call for a Second ‘Dumsor’ Vigil

0

Vice President of IMANI Africa, Bright Simons, firmly rejected actress Yvonne Nelson’s call to address the ongoing power crisis, known as “dumsor”.

The actress made her plea via a post on the X app, inviting IMANI Africa to collaborate on a vigil reminiscent of a 2015 protest she led. However, Simons clarified that IMANI Africa was not directly involved in organizing the ‘dumsor’ vigil in 2015. During the tenure of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) under former President John Dramani Mahama, Yvonne Nelson, along with several industry figures including musicians and actors, led a similar protest in 2015.

Miss Nelson expressed her frustration over the current situation in a post on X, calling for collaboration to organize the vigil and attributing its success to IMANI. However, Mr. Simons clarified that the 2015 vigil was organized by pressure groups, not IMANI. He noted that IMANI has diligently engaged with relevant stakeholders on various power supply issues, but the actress has not amplified any of their work.

Simons questioned why Nelson has not supported or shared IMANI’s efforts, stating, “We’ve been chasing ECG, pursuing CWM matters, fighting over gas value chain issues (a la Genser), probing power tariff proposals, highlighting IPP debt buildup etc. I’m afraid I’ve never seen Ms. Nelson amplify any of that work. Ever. Not even a retweet. Now, why is that?”

He added: “Except that IMANI didn’t organise any vigils. They were organised by pressure groups. Pressure groups are not permanent institutions. Ghana’s problems require long-term consistent advocacy best suited to INSTITUTIONS. Do YOU support such institutions? Does Ms. Nelson?”

Yvonne Nelson Calls on Imani Ghana for a second #DUMSORMUSTSTOP vigil

Actress and activist Yvonne Nelson is rallying for a second vigil to address Ghana’s ongoing power crisis.

Renowned for her participation in the 2015 #DumsorMustStop campaign, Nelson has recently conveyed her disappointment with the current government’s approach to the situation on her X platform.

In her post dated April 22, 2024, she implored Imani Ghana, a civil society group, to unite for a fresh demonstration, acknowledging their past contributions. Nelson criticized the leadership of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and President Nana Akufo-Addo, accusing them of neglecting the concerns of Ghanaians.

“Imani Ghana, can we organize another vigil? I’ve been waiting for you to reach out like you did years back. (your team made our demo a success) I’m reaching out myself. The NPP and its leadership @NAkufoAddo have taken Ghanaians for granted. #DUMSORMUSTSTOP.”

The hashtag #DUMSORMUSTSTOP, which gained traction during the online protests against inconsistent power supply, is now resurfacing as the actress pushes for action. Her appeal mirrors the increasing discontent among Ghanaians concerning the ongoing energy challenges plaguing the nation. The repeated power interruptions, known as “dumsor” locally, have disrupted both businesses and daily routines since late 2023, intensifying in 2024. Although government officials claim that these outages do not signify “dumsor,” numerous citizens beg to differ, pointing out parallels to the crisis witnessed in 2015.

Meanwhile, government officials have brushed aside the need for a timetable to manage the ongoing outages, intensifying public frustration. Minister for Energy, Matthew Opoku Prempeh, went as far as challenging proponents of a timetable to devise one themselves.

Nigerian socialite Idris Okuneye, commonly referred to as Bobrisky, has submitted an appeal against the recent ruling of a Federal High Court in Lagos State.

The court, presided over by Justice A.O. Awogboro, imposed a maximum six-month sentence on Bobrisky following allegations brought forth by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) concerning the misuse of the Nigerian currency, the naira.

Although Bobrisky admitted guilt to the charges, his legal representative has moved forward with an appeal to the Court of Appeal, contesting the severity of the sentence. The appeal argues for a reduction to a nominal fine of N50,000 for each count, highlighting Bobrisky’s clean record and his full cooperation with the authorities during the legal proceedings.

This approach seeks to achieve a less severe outcome for Bobrisky by highlighting factors like his clean record and cooperation with the legal proceedings.

YouTube is not going to last long in Nigeria as a platform – Kanayo O. kanayo

0

Renowned Nollywood veteran, Kanayo O Kanayo, recently shared his concerns regarding the increasing presence of Nigerian actors and producers on YouTube.

He highlighted a troubling trend where actors and filmmakers prioritize individual projects over collaborative efforts, often resorting to intensive one-day shoots. Kanayo emphasized the detrimental effects of such practices on actors’ health, citing a colleague’s struggle with overwork-induced health issues.

In an Instagram video, Kanayo criticized the unsustainability of one-day shoots, stating, “Take, for instance, the whole irony of a one-day shoot. It is not sustainable.”

He emphasized the significance of placing health above immediate benefits, warning against the prevalent mentality of valuing quantity over quality.

He noted, “Most of you think you are enjoying ‘I am fully booked for the next six months’ but your health…I hope you enjoy good health like those of us who started 38 years ago because what you are doing is not sustainable.”

Moreover, Kanayo expressed skepticism about YouTube’s long-term viability in Nigeria if these practices persist. He lamented the decline in collaborative efforts among actors and producers, noting the adverse impact on industry growth and sustainability.

“YouTube is not going to last long in Nigeria as a platform,”he stated.

“Most actors like everything Nigerian , have created their own channels . They’ve stopped acting for other producers . That’s not the way to build the industry. You need to lend your service to other people .

“Yes, we’re creating content but then we all need each other . That is the spirit by which Nollywood came about so all this thing I don’t see a sustainability of it that people are now giving different conditions – no actor is free and so on,” he said.

Kanayo urged stakeholders to embrace a collaborative spirit reminiscent of Nollywood’s origins, emphasizing the need for mutual support and professionalism.

The decision, initially revealed in February 2018, has received criticism from the Traditional Council for its failure to consult essential stakeholders.
